HC Deb 05 December 1935 vol 307 c294
55. Mr. HALL-CAINE

asked the Minister of Agriculture the nature of the discussions which have taken place between representatives of the British Government and the Free State Government for the transference of the National Stud in county Kildare to the Free State; and whether any decision has been reached?

The MINISTER of AGRICULTURE (Mr. Elliot)

I am not able to add anything to the official announcement on this subject which appeared recently in the Press. I am sending a copy of this announcement to my hon. Friend.

Captain HEILGERS

Will my right hon. Friend bear in mind that, if any transference takes place, the only possible place for the Stud in this country is Newmarket?
